The Frankfurt School was a group of German
thinkers who came together in the 1920s to
study society and culture. They wanted to
understand how power and money shape our
lives. The group was started at the University of
Frankfurt, and that's how they got their name.
Critical Theory is the main idea that came out
of the Frankfurt School. It's a way of thinking
about society that helps us see how power and
inequality work. Critical Theory says that our
society is controlled by powerful groups who
use money, media, and politics to keep
themselves in power. This control affects
everything, from how we think to what we buy.
